Overview
This four-book paperback bundle brings together two of Marie Lu's most gripping Young Adult sagas: Prodigy, the explosive second installment of the Legend series, alongside the complete Young Elites trilogy. Readers get high-stakes rebellion in a divided dystopian nation paired with a dark fantasy epic of forbidden power and revenge. Lu's fast-paced plotting and morally complex characters make this an ideal set for teen readers who love series-driven speculative fiction.
About the Books
This collection spans two distinct worlds built by Marie Lu. Prodigy continues the story of June and Day, two brilliant young people on opposite sides of a crumbling Republic, as they go on the run and uncover a conspiracy that could reshape their nation. The pacing is relentless, and the emotional bond between its two leads gives the political intrigue real weight. The remaining three books form the complete Young Elites trilogy, a darker, fantasy-driven saga set in a plague-scarred world. The Young Elites introduces Adelina Amouteru, a survivor left scarred and gifted with dangerous new abilities after a devastating illness sweeps her homeland. Cast out and mistrusted, she is drawn toward a secret society of fellow survivors who share her strange powers. The Rose Society follows Adelina as she embraces her darker instincts, builds her own faction, and pursues a path of vengeance that blurs the line between hero and villain. The Midnight Star brings the trilogy to its climax, forcing Adelina to confront the true cost of the power she has claimed. Together, these four books showcase Marie Lu's range across dystopian action and dark fantasy, sharing common threads of identity, resilience, and the cost of extraordinary power.
